I got my first order ~

Update on my latest attempt in doing business..
I've gotten the samples last week , took down orders from several shops.
Though the orders are not gigantic...I'm over the moon ! I'm thinking of expanding this micro business...But I lack $ to bring in bigger shipment, in order for shipping to be cost effective , I should ship a larger volume each round..but I lack $ to take in so much goods... don't want to borrow from parents or boyfriend or anyone else. Actually I wanted to sell all my stocks and put the $ into the goods..but I bought the stocks under Mum's account..surely she will not be agreeable to me selling them...

I need to raise the capital in short short time...so no choice go back to work casio in the coming COMEX..God bless that I make a decent amount of $ in the 4days...grrr..I do hate the pressure to earn $ at times...

I'm excited that the shops I've been to, are interested to buy what I bring in. That nod of approval is what keeps me going.

I will be thrifty! I will raise the money

Getting into business?

Office workers in Singapore are considerably well paid (civil servants included), entry salary at $1800..after 2 years, may be about $2300..another 5 years of experience and you could easily be taking home $3000 income or even more. If combined with a working partner, both of you should be able to lead a comfortable life right ?

BUT..it's boring ! stability comes with hardwork..BUT so does stagnancy..even if u are senior manager and hmm 45 years old..still have to go to office everyday..of course, if you are able to enjoy what you do..you will be a happy person..

BUT..I just dun like to work the same amount of hours everyday..surely everyone wants to have control over their own time, me included. So I've always have the thought that I will go into business, as I've heard uncountable stories of how some people ONLY have the business thought but do not carry them out, I really don't want to join their club in this. So I try..at the age of 17(in year 2003), I joined with my best friend and her sister to start a t-shirt printing businesss...Result? NOT successful..and my whole poly year 1 classmates suffered with a piece of the product..but I'm sure they are good hearted about this..thou I still get ugly naggy reminders from Mr sun n Mr khoo about my failure from time to time ..after that, I was a bit depressed and my morale did go deep low..yet that did not kill the 'entrepreneur spirit' inside me ..in year 2006 I started a tution co-ordinating 'agency' ...abusiness that I didn't even bother to register. With the help of my buddies Sunny and Eric, the website is set up--http://www.dedicatedtutors.com/ ..From then till now, it has been in operation for close to a year..total number of deals co-ordinated by me = 26. Average I do 2 deals a month...and that damn small lah...reason ? I'm lazy..never advertise properly...But still it does provide me with a meagre 200 bucks of pocket $ each month. A few months back, I was toying with the idea of setting up a snack stall like so many others has done , but without a single encouragement or nod of approval from family and friends, I'm not brave enough to start..and I do forsee that I'm still not mature nor responsible enough to take on a 'project' of that capacity.

After loads of considerations of the types of businesses I can try..I've decided to embark on importing and distribution of infant clothings.I've contacted my suppliers from overseas..have received the samples..done a local market survey,(still lots more work to be done) before my plans can be launched. But I'm working fast at it..

I shall try to do a regular update on my new business attempt in this blog so as to remind myself not to give up halfway. And also hope to inspire friends/readers of this blog to explore more options of income..though I've not yet succeeded but I'm trying and I would be happy to rcv comments from people who share the same thinking.E.g How adeline and Mr Sun's car accessories selling is coming along.How adeline and Jy's PSP selling is coming along. Or even the things that other friends/readers do. that I'm not aware of.. Okok..basically I'm just kaypoh.

More updates on how my latest attempt at business will be posted...

Blunders

Yesh...I've done it again..made trouble for myself...procrastinating got to me....
I've deferred a sem in my school..cos I'm not able to keep up with the work (that's an excuse) whatever the reason...the truth is I'm an ass who deferred a sem in my studies...and I would have to confess to my mum soon as She is expecting me to complete my Bachelor studies this January and I won't be able to do that...Grrr..
No I didnt fail anything...Its out of laziness, dread..I deferred a sem..dumb me...
Soon I would have to face the consequences...

Guys who spoils my appetite

Many things in this world equate to a disgusting guy, 1 who can easily spoil my appetite(which is good for me..cos I really should stop eating)...But the number 1 thing a guy can do to be termed disgusting in my eyes right now is one who...

Does the same things he does with his ex ,with his new girlfriend...
well I can understand that after all Singapore is small..but surely we have a great variety of restaurants for a guy to choose from..don't have to bring his girlfriend to a place he frequents with his ex right...duh...

99% of girls are chocolate lovers..but kindly don't buy your ex's fave brand of chocs for your new girl..go explore..take A look...try something else..I mean its not nice if 2 regulars bump into each other at a small chocolate shop..with that thought....aewww

Have some creativity guys, girls like to feel special...nobody would say I'm perfectly blissful dining at a restaurant u and ur ex frequents or..wooo I simply love the chocs that your ex love too... So get it ?


**The above post is not intended to target at anyone ...But should it appear in anyway similar to anyone's current actions..it's a mere COINCIDENCE ...but YESH it means that person is indeed the disgusting one(if he could even bring himself to admit to it..at least that's cool) .
*To my buddy gossipers..dun say anything to spoil my already begone reputation oki ?

Pre National Day celebration

Went to MOS with Christ, Sinca, honie, and 8 of Sinca's friends..The que was scary..as sinca's frens were member ..we were able to skip the que..but don't know because of what the fren left early..as we were reluctant to join the que which was the same length as donut factory, we went to Attica..the new HOT SPOT in that area..

The place is pretty but rather small, crowd is cool..very few groping banglas..actually I tink there were none..We played drinking games and when we had just about enough drinks..it's dancing time~ By 3:30am..we were alll Laper (stands for famished) so it's Lau Pat Sat..fried rice, ju-ju, satay, gong gong, fried chicken,sotong fritters...mhhmmm

Think I wanna go to Attica next wednesday again..but awaiting approval from my Mister

Donuts

During my last holiday in Jakarta, under the urging of Christ I became a donut critic ..Christ gathered donuts from Krispy Kremeeeeeeeeee, J.CO & Dunkin Donuts all on a table for me to sample and review them...Sad to say the Dunkin Donuts that I grew up with tasted the least delicious among the 3... 2nd place is Jakarta's own homegrown branding J.Co donuts(they've made it real big over there) and my personal favourite has gotta be KRISPY KREMEEEEE ...sweet and crispy on the outside..soft and melt in your mouth on the inside ...mmmm...Chris not too happy with the results..as he is a loyal fan of J.Co ..he practically raves about J.CO everyday at lunch ..hehehe

Anyway..I was groaning about why Singapore doesn't have any of this delicious yummy donuts? Afterall we are supposed to be the food heaven in the region..and when I return..I found out that we have..It's called Donut factory, opened by some Pakistanese...and the queue is astounding!!!!!! 3 hours is what I hear...GOD DAMN IT ..I'm not gonna queue 3 hours for some bloody donuts...Are this people mad?

Few days back I walked past the branch of Donut Factory in Suntec...the queue is scary at least 80 people in it...leads all the way from the shop to the toilet itself...till people have no place to stand..and some of the queuers there tell me that this is relatively short compared to the one in RafflesCity %$&^*&*( Grrrr....at the rate this goes, I will be unable to try these donuts...hmmphh)Thats when christ spot a 2nd que ..one that has only 8 persons in it...we quickly joined that que before asking around the reason for the short que...which is if u join this que, u can buy drinks and coffeee take a seat at their seating area and buy up to 2 donuts per person...They've got a LIMIT ! Those queuers at the long kill are thinking of at least 1-5 boxes...12 - 60 donuts each...thats why they rather stand and continue to wait ..the problem is christ is a donut freak and he wanted to eat 4 donuts while I wanted 2...so when it was time to place our orders..we pleaded with the waitress about our love for donuts and she kindly granted 1 more donut to us..a total of 5..alrite we r pathetic here..begging to buy donuts...lol

YUMMY !

Beaware ! He is a ice cream + donut + chocolate monster !

Mmmm..Donut Factory is yummy ! especially their double chocolate..white choc on the top of the crispy donut skin..soft donut bread and right in the centre of it is dark choc flowing out with every bite...Ahhhhhhhh I prefer krispy kremeee to donut factory..Christ still thinks J.Co serves the best donuts in the world but we both agree that in Singapore itself, Donut Factory has gotta be the tastiest !

However their serving system sucks...krispy kreme and J.Co both has the same amount of customers as Donut Factory, but their serving system as well as donut production is 5 times faster at least ...buck up on it Donut Factory ~

UPSETTING

Ahhh...I failed my driving test..must admit I'm quite a dangerous driver during the test..nvm theres always the next try..though it does upset me so much...Christ booked us a movie, la Vie En Rose after I finished my test..was feeling real down but the movie was quite good thus I was momentarily absorbed into the show...Brrr...Grrr..
